"Hope you guess my name"

On July 13, 1970, California highway patrol picked up "two longhairs," Stanley Baker and Harry Allen Stroup, on suspicion of a hit-and-run near Big Sur. Baker not only readily admitted fleeing the scene, but added "I have a problem. I'm a cannibal ." In the pockets of both men were found human finger bones, taken from a recent victim in Montana named James Schlosser, whose mutilated remains were also missing a heart. Baker confessed to having eaten it.

Remember the times: the Tate-LaBianca murders were the summer before, and Manson and his Family members were in custody but not yet convicted. (Manson's trial didn't conclude until the following July.) A couple of murderous, hippie cannibals tripping around Southern California with bones in their pocket - why not? It was what the helter skelter mainstream mania was conditioning America's consciousness to expect from its counterculture. Baker's eager confession to crimes of which he was not a suspect suggest he may have been part of the program.

The criminal system's handling of Baker suggest it got with the program, too: though he was a convicted multiple murderer and confessed cannibal who howled at full moons and had 11 makeshift weapons conviscated in custody, "administrators still saw fit to let him travel through the prison system, teaching transactional analysis to other inmates" and proselytizing for his Satanic cult. Stroup was released in 1979 and Baker in 1986, "requesting that his present whereabouts remain confidential."

Baker claimed he had been recruited into a neo-Nazi Satanic cult while in a Wyoming college, which he identified as the "Four Pi Movement," also known as the 4P. It was a splinter of the Process Church, which itself had broken away from the Church of Scientology. The name was derived from the Processean symbol of four P's arranged in a stylized Swastika, representing Jehovah, Jesus, Lucifer and Satan. (Members "were urged to pick one that they could identify with and devote themselves to that deity.")

Four P rituals were conducted "on the basis of a stellar timetable, including the sacrifice of Doberman and German shepherd dogs":

Beginning in June 1968, authorities in San Jose, Santa Cruz, and Los Gatos began recording discovery of canines, skinned and drained of blood without apparent motive. As the director of the Santa Cruz animal shelter told [Ed] Sanders, "Whoever is doing this is a real expert with a knife. The skin is cut away without even marking the flesh. The really strange thing is that these dogs have been drained of blood." If we accept the word of isolated witnesses, the missing blood was drunk by cultists in their ceremonies. So, according to reports, was human blood, obtained from sacrificial victims murdered on a dragon-festooned altar.

Baker reported having participated in human sacrifices in the Santa Ana Mountains, and confessed to playing a part in the April 20, 1970 murder of Robert Salem, a 40-year-old lighting designer in San Francisco stabbed 27 times and nearly decapitated. Slogans were painted on the walls in Salem's blood, including "Zodiac" and "Satan Saves," which, according to Baker, "were meant to stir up panic in an atmosphere already tense from revelations in the Manson murder trial."

The killings, he said, were on the order of the group leader, known as the "Grand Chignon" (a title which was also used for Manson by some Family members who were said to have links to the group). The Grand Chignon was reputed to be a wealthy, middle-aged, Los Angeles businessman. Four P is known by other names - the "Children" in New York, the "Children of Light" in Alabama, perhaps even Henry Lee Lucas's "Hand of Death":

A faction called the "Black Cross" is said to operate as a kind of Satanic Murder Incorporated, fielding anonymous hit teams for cultists nationwide, disposing of defectors and offering pointers on the fine art of human sacrifice. If law enforcement spokesmen are correct, the cult is also deeply involved in...child pornography , and the international narcotics trade.

Four P did not die out with its hippie slavestock. Between October 1976 and October 1977 a disturbing pattern resumed, this time in New York City, when 85 German shepherds and Dobermans were found skinned and drained of blood. And then came the "Son of Sam."

David Berkowitz claimed the Sam murders had been a group action, and that he had been selected to be the fall guy for all of them. He said the group was a Satanic cult called "the Four Pi." To support his allegations, he shared unpublished facts of the ritual murder of Stanford, California student, and native of Bismark, North Dakota, Arlis Perry. A murder that remains officially unsolved.

On October 11, 1974 - the anniversary of Manson's arrest - Perry was brutally slain in Stanford's Memorial Church. She had been beaten, choked and stabbed behind the ear with an ice pick. Her body was found with a tall candle in her vagina, and another between her breasts.

Berkowitz said she had been murdered by California cultists as a favour to their associates in North Dakota, who had been offended by the Christian Perry's attempt to evangelize some of their members. Maury Terry investigated Berkowitz's claims for his book The Ultimate Evil and not only found evidence for a Satanic cult in Bismark, but that it had held midnight meetings in the woods behind Mary College - "a tiny school that neither we in New York nor the California police had ever hear of" - just as Berkowitz had said.

Terry writes:

The cult's existence in a wooded area behind the school has been confirmed by at least ten people, including police officers, area residents, nuns who taught at Mary College and other Bismark citizens who were involved in Christian activities. Importantly, the latter sources belonged to the same religious organizations as Arlis did.... A friend said "She definitely knew about it. We discussed the cult several times at our...meetings."One nun who taught at Mary told me: "My students knew all about it. They said the cult used to kill dogs back of here." ... A married couple who lived in a trailer home near the cult meeting site at Mary told me that they saw torches and heard chanting and thatthree of their pet dogswere abducted in the middle of the night and later found mutilated inside a circle of stones.The morning of Perry's Bismark funeral, a man in clad in black was seen trying to break into the church. Two weeks later, her grave marker was stolen.

Perry's pastor told Terry that before the murder, "a friend of one of my parishioners went down to Mary and hid out on the hill one night to spy on the cult. I never found out who they were, but she said there were some well-known Bismark citizens in attendance." Berkowitz had also asserted that the Bismark cult included prominent citizens.

Mandan police sergeant Lamar Kruckenberg told Terry that "In early '74 an undercover cop was brought to an indoor cult meeting in Bismark by one of his informants":

He was looking for drug activity - there was no suggestion of murder at this time, which was about seven months before Arlis' death. This cop told me the people there were wearing masks because there were supposed to be some respected Bismark people among them.The Son of Sam case is a quarter-century old. In America, that qualifies as ancient history, yet it's neither. The received story is of one more lone nut; this one, an overweight slob who was hearing voices from his neighbour Sam's dog. Less well known is that the actual sons of Sam Carr, John and Michael, were likely Berkowitz's fellow cultists. Before he could answer Berkowitz's allegations, John was found shot to death in February 1978, "SSNYC" scrawled next to his body, which seems to suggest "Son of Sam, New York City." The following October, Michael died in a mysterious car accident.

The case of cannibal-at-large Stanley Baker, and the ritual slaying of Arlis Perry? They aren't even considered important enough now to explain with creative fictions.

All those dead dogs, skinned and drained of blood? We'll pretend they're sleeping, and let them lie.

And the respected figures behind the masks, and their black magick, national network of ritual murder, child pornography and drug trafficking? Well, let's just say that can't possibly be true.

i'm not sure if this fits in or not, but have you looked into the case of ira einhorn at all? he seems like another noteworthy case of a counter-culturist who took a very public fall.

also interesting is another thread i've been following. supposedly einhorn was connected to a group called the council of nine. the nine was founded (i think) by andrija puharich. they were a group who centered around a couple of individuals who were supposedly able to channel ancient egyptian gods.

puharich is also said to have worked for the CIA and been involved in remote mind control experiments. also interesting is that one of the major elements of the council of nine, that i've read is that they aggressively tried to dominate other new age channelers, convincing them that their sources were really the nine.

puharich also is the one who "discovered" uri geller. he hypnotized geller into believing that his psychic powers came ultimately from the nine.

other notable celebrity adherents of the nine: gene roddenberry, john denver. some people claim that "deep space nine" and "seven of nine" are references to this group.

another trail i've been following leads back to the scientologists. besides the process church, supposedly werner erhard's "est" training was a rip-off of certain aspects of scientology. he eventually sold "est" to his employees who turned it into the landmark forum.

from what i understand, erhard and the council of nine were also heavily connected to the esalen institute. supposedly the esalen institute was heavily involved in trying to "turn" soviet officers to the american cause.

don't know if any of these threads overlap, but i feel like they connect somewhere to your present line of inquiry. i'll be doing more about this on my site in the near future as well.

Jeff - wonder if you'd consider getting together with De camp(?) the franklin coverup guy, and whoever wrote the excellent 'paedocracy' series, tie it altogether into a book with an international perspective (dare i say global?)

Friends find their calling Rocky Mountain News/February 28, 2004 By Lou Kilzer One of the world's most admired animal sanctuaries has a skeleton tucked deep in its closet - one with a history worthy of its own miniseries.

The Best Friends Animal Society runs the nation's largest "no-kill" shelter in Utah and raised $19.9 million last year alone.

But more than three decades ago, its key founders formed a movement that was accused - falsely, they say - of being a satanic cult.

Best Friends President Michael Mountain, 57, says The Process, Church of the Final Judgment, was just a group of young people searching for spiritual truth in the crazy atmosphere of the late 1960s and early '70s.

Satan was one of four entities they studied - the others were Lucifer, Jehovah and Christ - says Mountain. Satan was more a metaphor for a human personality trait than a god to be worshipped, he says.

Though several of the founders have stayed together all these years, they long ago gave up their purple robes in favor of leading the charge to save American pets from destruction, Mountain says.

All the same, Mountain was not overjoyed when asked about a series of corporate records that link Best Friends to the 1967 incorporation of The Process in the French Quarter of New Orleans.

If he had it to do over again, Mountain says, he would have let The Process dissolve and incorporated Best Friends as a new nonprofit with no links to the church.

With 250 staff members and 250,000 contributors, the pre-eminent "no-kill" advocate does not need any religious bones kicking around.

No longer known as Father John, Father Aaron, Mother Ophelia and the like, many of the founders live modestly near the small town of Kanab, Utah. Mountain, who has a daughter in Denver, is divorced and lives at the sanctuary, making about $30,000 a year from the proceeds of a private business that sells Best Friends merchandise.

Gone are the days when members interviewed mass murderer Charles Manson in jail for the "death" issue of their magazine.

There's no more talk about doomsday right around the corner. No more screeds about "Satan on War."

"A lot of it was really rather juvenile," says John Fripp aka Christopher Fripp aka Father John.

Now, instead of begging for handouts in London, New York or New Orleans, Best Friends founders are as likely to attend a Hollywood fund-raiser graced by Ron Howard, Drew Barrymore, Robin Williams or Bill Maher.

A book available for $15 on one of the group's Web pages professes to be a complete history. It's called Best Friends - The True Story of the World's Most Beloved Animal Sanctuary.

It recounts how a ragtag group of animal lovers turned a canyon where the Lone Ranger was filmed into a vacation magnet for like-minded people willing to devote time to abandoned cats, dogs and rabbits.

The Process Church is never mentioned. Mountain says that was the author's choice, not an attempt to keep it quiet.

Mountain readily acknowledges the group's history when asked about it, and he seems almost anxious to give it the proper spin. After meeting with a reporter, he called together the shelter's staff to disclose the founders' history.

He says he's even considering a book that would chronicle the wacky days of this group of educated and mostly British young people whose adventures included moving to the Yucatan, surviving a hurricane, then donning capes in Louisiana, California, New York and Boston.

It is a tale of enduring friendship, growth and a search for their real goal, Mountain says, a goal they found amid 33,000 stunning red acres in southern Utah.

Headed for a hurricaneIt began in the 1960s when people were dropping out and turning on.

Michael Mountain, born Hugh Mountain, was part heir to Great Britain's largest television empire when he dropped out of Oxford at age 17 to begin navigating the vast smorgasbord of counterculture offerings then available.

Disinherited for his vagabond ways, Mountain says he met a group of other young seekers of life's truths.

"We would go around and visit all of the different religious and astrological groups," Mountain says.

He even attended sessions of the Flat Earth Society. Little was off-limits.

Mountain was most taken, however, by a group organized by Robert Degrimston and his wife, Mary Ann, who had both dabbled in various movements, including Scientology.

It was not, in the beginning, religious, he says.

"These days, it would be considered a kind of cheap, out-of-date pop psychology," explains Mountain.

William Bainbridge, who is now deputy director of Information and Intelligent Systems at the National Science Foundation, joined the group in the early 1970s to study it. He chronicled the group in a 1978 book, Satan's Power: A Deviant Psychotherapy Cult.

Although little of the group's beliefs were set in stone, Degrimston believed human nature took on aspects of four deities: Lucifer, Satan, Jehovah and Christ.

Bainbridge says at times Christ was considered the synthesis of the other three.

Whatever the beliefs, the group bonded. In June 1966, members headed to the Bahamas on the first leg of a journey to seek utopia. Three months later, they were scouring Mexico's Yucatan peninsula for the right place.

They found what they were looking for at a Mayan ruin named Xtul. Nearby was a huge abandoned salt factory that the group thought could be an ideal home.

"He said, 'I dreamt that you were coming last night. You can have it for a dollar a month,' " Mountain says.

"So if there was any time when we felt that there was probably something mystical there, that was probably it."

The church was born.

Villagers told them Xtul meant either "little rabbit" or "the end." The group's doomsday world view began to take shape, says Mountain.

The feeling would deepen when monster Hurricane Inez bore down on the Yucatan in September 1966 and residents were urged to evacuate.

Some left, but a core group stayed.

"The idea that we would abandon Xtul was out of the question," says Mountain. If the storm meant the end, so be it.

Members of what was by then called The Process sought shelter behind a wall at one end of the building.

The wall at the other end collapsed. If they had sought refuge there, "we would have all been gone," Mountain says. Inez took an estimated 1,000 lives.

The idea that they had witnessed something fundamental set in.

After helping to rebuild some of the neighboring villages, the group took off to spread their message.

In late 1967, they found their way to the French Quarter in New Orleans. There, things went from somewhat odd to outright bonkers.

A caped crusaderThe group decided to incorporate as a nonprofit to handle finances.

Mountain says a rotund former lawyer for the Catholic Church was intrigued by the group and drew up the necessary papers.

Mountain showed up at his home one Sunday morning.

"I'm greeted by a completely naked lady," Mountain recalls. "And she says, 'Oh, come on in.' So there he is, an extremely large person, in bed with this cluster of equally naked ladies around, and he leaps up naked and says, 'Here are your articles of incorporation. Your church is complete.' "

And so formally began The Process, Church of the Final Judgment.

Mountain winces when he is reminded of the language in the papers repeatedly stating that the group's mission is to conduct "spiritual and occult research."

The papers declare: "The latter days are upon us for even now the Lord Christ is in the world and gods walk amongst men and there are signs and wonders foretold in prophecy in preparation for the final judgment of man."

Mountain says the lawyer supplied most of the words, but the group didn't particularly care in those days.

"We were not trying to be sensible at that point in time."

Mountain was 21.

"I was dressed in white with a purple cape with a white dog in one hand and a black dog in the other - a German shepherd."

He showed up at Louisiana State University with a message about the end of the world. Students told him to come back Tuesday.

"And when I got back there, there was this giant banner over the gate to the university, saying 'Caped crusader visits.'

"This was wonderful fun. It was nutty."

He gave a speech, the contents of which he forgot long ago, to a packed auditorium.

The satanic part of it all is a bad rap, he says. No one prayed to Satan.

Degrimston, now a business consultant in New York, declined to be interviewed. However, Mountain says the core philosophy was that Christ was the unifying element of mankind.

"In theological terms, as he explained it, the ultimate reconciliation of opposites would be a reconciliation between Christ and Satan. Christ said, 'Love your enemies.' In the end, even the most negative, the most evil can be redeemed with the power of love."

Bainbridge, who taught at Wellesley College and Harvard University before joining the National Science Foundation, agrees that the group didn't pray to Satan, who to the group bore little resemblance to the Satan of the Bible anyway.

The four deities, he says, were mostly symbolic, with God as "the totality of all four."

The group had trouble gaining traction, no matter how outrageous they acted. Mountain chalks this up to their philosophy of abstinence from sex and drugs - not overly popular notions in the 1960s.

At its height, membership ranged from 50 to 100, Mountain says.

Naturally, the group was drawn to California, where members produced magazines on fear, sex, love and death.

It was while doing the death issue that the group stumbled.

"Charles Manson had been in prison for about a year, and somebody had the bright idea that we would go in and interview Charles Manson," says Mountain. "We thought it would help sell the magazine. We didn't have much money.

"It was a mistake."

There was another reason for the visit to Manson: They thought it would put to rest rumors of their connection to him. Instead, it only stoked them.

John Fripp, who was one of the two Process members who visited Manson, says simply: "We were naïve."

Linked to Charles MansonIn 1971, a book on the Manson family's role in the 1969 Tate-LaBianca slayings speculated on Manson's possible connection to the Process Church.

The book created a sensation and gave the Process Church a permanent place in occult lore.

Mountain and others were in Britain at the time, and when they returned to the United States, Mountain went to see a Chicago lawyer. Members really didn't want to sue, but they didn't want to be called murderers, either.

The lawyer was blunt: "If you do not sue," Mountain says he told them, "you will be stuck with this for the rest of your lives."

They sued.

The publisher apologized, recalled the books and issued subsequent editions without the offending chapter.

But the toothpaste was out of the tube. And with the birth of the Internet, the legend has only grown.

Mountain says The Process essentially stopped operating in the 1970s, and many members began to go separate ways. Then Robert and Mary Ann Degrimston split up.

Mountain says members who left Robert Degrimston felt he was becoming too authoritarian and structured in his beliefs. Degrimston went to the Northeast to try to keep The Process alive.

It didn't work.

Some members of the remaining group, first known as The Foundation - Church of the Millennium, eventually gravitated to a ranch in Arizona.

Gone was all talk about the occult, but the religious part was still going strong.

The incorporation papers said the church "has been called into existence by God to be made known to all men that the Latter Days are upon us, and there are signs and wonders foretold in prophecy in preparation for the coming of the Messiah and the entry into the Millennium."

Group members kept their religious names, having abandoned all or part of their given names.

Bainbridge says the group began concentrating on one God, rather than one with four personalities. And the group discovered its mission.

Some members had been animal advocates for years, and German shepherds had been associated with them since they first left London in 1966. Mary Ann Degrimston, for one, had been active in the anti-vivisectionist movement.

Although members had worked in a variety of charities for humans, they came to realize that love of animals was one thing they all shared.

"Mahatma Gandhi had a saying," recalls Mountain: " 'A society can be judged by the way it treats its old people, its young people and its animals.' "

The group, renamed The Foundation Faith of God, began taking in strays and unwanted pets, but soon found its Arizona property too small.

Members went prospecting, researching coastal California and even visiting an island for sale off Honduras.

One day in 1982, a group founder, Francis Battista, was driving through southern Utah and happened to visit Kanab Canyon - the backdrop of several Western movies.

Battista fell in love.

Other members soon visited and agreed: This was the spot.

They sold the Arizona ranch, and, in 1984, used proceeds from the down payment on the purchase of 2,269 acres in the canyon.

The group would acquire additional land and lease some 30,000 more acres from the Bureau of Land Management.

Soon, The Foundation gave the acreage a new name: Angel Canyon.

Founder Paul Eckhoff, an architect, designed one of the first buildings - a large home outside the sanctuary.

First planned as a retreat, it has become home to Mary Ann Degrimston and her new husband, founder Gabriel DePeyer.

Located by a pond, the Lake House has become a local legend, rumored to be a religious site.

But it is only a home, says Mountain.

A movement takes offMembers began building the sanctuary on a razor-thin budget raised through various cottage industries and monthly payments from the purchaser of the Arizona ranch.

They began taking in unwanted pets, first from the Kanab area, then from around the state and region.

By 1991, the founders were swamped with animals and faced a crisis: The purchaser of the Arizona ranch had gone bankrupt and his monthly payments dried up.

"We were way in over our heads," Mountain says. "We didn't have the staff, the resources, the money to have the number of animals that were coming in."

A call went out to former members, who were by then spread across the nation.

Many came to help. Cyrus and Anne Mejia, who were running a clown ministry for children in hospitals, left for Utah from their home in Golden.

The problem wasn't complicated. The group needed money, and getting it seemed to require a certain amount of begging, which the group called "tabling."

They would go to Denver, Salt Lake City, Las Vegas and Los Angeles, set up tables outside supermarkets and pass out brochures about the sanctuary.

People began to fall in love with the idea of the sanctuary and soon the group could barely keep track of its donors.

By 1993, Best Friends Animals Sanctuary was incorporated as a nonprofit. All religious language was removed from corporate papers. The group now includes practicing Christians, Jews and Buddhists.

Tax records show Best Friends took in $1.17 million in contributions in 1993.

And the money kept coming. In 1994, $1.8 million flowed in. The next year it was $2.7 million. In recent years, donations have grown by about $2 million to $3 million every year.

Today, about 250 full-time staff members work around the country, and one - the editor of Best Friends Magazine - works from London. Last year, 4,054 volunteers worked for Best Friends in Kanab and the nationwide volunteer network numbered more than 11,000.

There are full-time vets, spay and neuter programs in Salt Lake City and Los Angeles, and plans for programs in 10 cities.

Best Friends' 2002 tax returns show it spent $10.9 million on program services, including $6 million for animal care, $1.9 million for its magazine, brochures and Internet services, and $2.9 million for outreach programs.

Another $2 million went to raise funds.

Still, Best Friends had a $5 million surplus.

The sanctuary is now built out - including modern structures with such names as WildCats Village, The Triple "R" Rabbit Retreat and Dogtown Heights, "a gated community."

There is even a pet cemetery.

The animals pretty much have the run of the place, moving at will from indoors to large outside pens.

During an interview with Mountain, a cat named Butch jumped on a reporter's scribbled notes. No one made a move to remove him.

The sanctuary houses about 1,500 animals, with no plans to go much higher. Instead, Best Friends will fund efforts to build such no-kill programs elsewhere.

In 2002, Best Friends took in 736 dogs and placed 633 in private homes. For cats, the number taken in was 558 and the number placed was 517. Only six of the 21 rabbits found new homes.

No More Homeless Pets in Utah - a Best Friends venture with Maddie's Fund, a pet rescue foundation - is spaying and neutering thousands of Utah pets and helping to find homes for thousands more.

Best Friends Network handles some 24,000 calls and e-mails a year requesting pet and animal help.

In fact, Best Friends' reach has grown so far that it renamed itself again as Best Friends Animal Society, reflecting that it is not a mere sanctuary anymore.

The 'no-kill' missionCan no-kill zones work, or are they just the dreams of some crazy folks who have stuck together for more than 30 years?

"The big old organizations with whom we work quite closely now, in the early days said this can't be done," says Mountain.

But it can, he insists, pointing to the sharp decline in animals killed in shelters - from 17 million in 1987 to 5 million today.

"We have taken on a job that the humane movement should have been doing years ago," he says.

Best Friends, he says, has "become something of a flagship for this whole movement."

To keep the flag flying, Mountain says he needs to define Best Friends' past as well as its future - The Process church and all.

He now says he wants not only to help write a book about the affair, but to put it all on a Web page, warts and all.

Mountain says he hopes the openness might dispel rumors that a few conspiracy theorists continue to spread.

One person has been contacting Best Friends partners with tales of the group's checkered past, says Best Friends communications director Bonney Brown.

One charge is that the group was and may still be a cult - a word even Bainbridge uses to describe The Process.

Mountain doesn't agree.

"The definition of cult is something that follows a single charismatic leader telling everybody what to do, and that never happened with this. It's just the opposite," Mountain says.

"We looked into many cults and found them all to be, frankly, ridiculous."

With the past behind them, Mountain says, Best Friends has a bright future.

The $5 million surplus is good for only half a year of operating expense, he says. But it is an indication that more might be around the corner.

Says Mountain: "There is even talk of building an endowment."

Maury Terry's research in The Ultimate Evil was very sloppy. He didn't even seem to know the difference between Satanism and Wicca.

As for Werner Erhard - yes, huge chunks of est were ripped off from the Scientologists. As a result, Erhard landed on their Enemies list. They delivered the coup de grace by offering one of his daughters a million-dollar book contract if she would claim he had sexually molested her. She later confessed that it was a trumped-up story, but the news media never covered that part of the saga! Erhard's reputation was toast.

Apparently there had also been other attacks that led him to fear for his personal safety. He fled to Russia and, via satellite telecast in 1993, stated that he wouldn't return to the USA until the Scientologists would promise not to harm him. Apparently this never happened.

OTOH, this all could have been a trumped-up story to pull Erhard off that assignment and pack him to Russia!

After Erhard's ex-wife won rights to the name "est" back in the '80s, he announced that est had completed its mission. The usual suspects have carried forward a kinder, gentler organization called the Landmark Forum, minus both Scientology tech and Werner Erhard. Sightings of him now are rarer than UFOs, but seem to centre around the Cayman Islands.

Scientology, through est, through the Landmark Trust, to Breakthrough Technologies; a cultish big-business franchise for "empowering ceo's to empower management to empower workers to breakthrough performance" or some such. Many global companies subscribed to this. Big bucks.

Anonymous One,did that undercover cop say people with masks on to hide their IDs? Wow,old Stanley Kubrick made the fatal mistake of showing to much of these peoples secret lives.We are not to think about such things,and I also think everyone in this country should read Muary's book just to be enlighten a bit,later.

stumbling on this shakes loose an old memory...in '72 or '73, when i was 10 or 11, my buddy and i were riding our bikes through the countryside full of abandoned orange orchards and old ranches soon to be bulldozed to make way for california sprawl when we happened upon a large pit filled with the remains of one to two dozen large dogs. i remember noting at the time that some remains were skeletal, and others were complete, yet most of the complete ones seemed dried out or desiccated. the pit was circular, quite deep and about half full. of course right away we rode to our homes, i remember telling my mom, she didn't want to call anyone, so i called the county animal control myself, but i don't think they took me seriously, being just a kid. and that was it, we didn't go back into that area, and as the years passed i'd forgotten about it. i really haven't thought about this in maybe 25 years. the exact location was in southern california, orange county, just outside the small city of villa park.

"Centered on the search for lost secrets of the pyramid builders, this extraordinary true story reveals the links between US scientific intelligence agencies, Mars and ancient Egypt. For almost 50 years, like Frankenstein's monster, this conspiracy has been put together from cultish - but astonishingly powerful - belief systems, culminating in the emergence of a new fundamentalism that is gathering strength by feeding on Millennium fever.

Lynn Picknett and Clive Prince reveal the secret agenda that unites apparently independent authors and researchers - including top names with millions of readers worldwide - and which is targeted to all of us. The Stargate Conspiracy reveals that even the genuine mysteries of the gods themselves have been hijacked by powerful cabals - which include top industrialists, politicians, scientists and intelligence agencies such as MI5 and the CIA - in order to fulfill their secret agenda. At the heart of this conspiracy is the belief that the ancient Egyptian gods were - and are - extra terrestrial beings, that certain key people are in contact with them, and that they are about to return through the 'stargate' between our world and theirs.

Are we prepared for the imminent return of the gods? And will we be expected unquestioningly to accept the conspirators as our spokesmen? Or is this an exercise in mass manipulation designed to make us support the conspirators? As they calculatedly whip up Millennium fever, triumphantly persuading us that they alone know how to talk to the gods, this book serves as a serious warning to mankind. "

Hubbard: The explanation is sort of long and complicated. The basic rationale is that there are some powers in this universe that are pretty strong. As an example, Hitler was involved in the same black magic and the same occult practices that my father was. The identical ones. Which, as I have said, stem clear back to before Egyptian times. It's a very secret thing. Very powerful and very workable and very dangerous. Brainwashing is nothing compared to it. The proper term would be "soul cracking." It's like cracking open the soul, which then opens various doors to the power that exists, the satanic and demonic powers. Simply put, it's like a tunnel or an avenue or a doorway. Pulling that power into yourself through another person --and using women, especially -- is incredibly insidious. It makes Dr. Fu Manchu look like a kindergarten student. It is the ultimate vampirism, the ultimate mind-fuck, instead of going for blood, you're going for their soul. And you take drugs in order to reach that state where you can, quite literally, like a psychic hammer, break their soul, and pull the power through. He designed his Scientology Operating Thetan techniques to do the same thing. But, of course, it takes a couple of hundred hours of auditing and mega-thousands of dollars for the privilege of having your head turned into a glass Humpty Dumpty --shattered into a million pieces. It may sound like incredible gibberish, but it made my father a fortune.

The First Earth Battalion is involved in corporate culture mind warping. This outfit is also highly involved with military intelligence, and figures in the book "Men Who Stare at Goats". Supposedly the FEB is involved in operations in Guantanamo and Abu Ghraib. The pattern is getting seemingly predictable. Just wondering what could be going on there.

"We've been investigating animal cruelty and illegal disposal of dead animals within our city for the last four weeks," Fitzhugh said. "Our investigators determined that these incidents were occurring every Wednesday for approximately one month."

Yesterday (Wednesday) law enforcement officials with the Ahoskie Police and Bertie County Sheriff's Office were able to observe a white panel van drive next to the commercial dumpster located behind Piggly Wiggly in Newmarket Shopping Center. A person in the van tossed several dark-colored bags in the dumpster before the van attempted to pull away.

At that time, a traffic stop was initiated on the van - a vehicle occupied by Cook and Hinkle.

The bags located in the dumpster contained 18 dead dogs, including one bag containing seven puppies. An additional 13 dead dogs were found in the van.

A license check revealed the van was registered to PETA in Norfolk, Va.

It is not yet confirmed if Cook and Hinkle are official representatives of the animal rights group.

However, Detective Sgt. Ed Pittman of the Bertie Sheriff's Office confirmed, through the county's Animal Control Officer, that Cook and Hinkle identified themselves as PETA representatives from Norfolk, Va.

"According to Barry (Anderson, Bertie's Animal Officer), the man and woman told him they were picking up the dogs to take them back to Norfolk where they would find them good homes," Pittman said.

Pittman added that as far as he knew, persons identifying themselves as PETA representatives had picked-up live dogs at the Bertie Animal Shelter for at least the last two months.

Anderson, also involved in Wednesday's surveillance and subsequent arrest, was able to positively identify nearly all of the dogs found in the dumpster as the ones picked-up just a few hours earlier on Wednesday by Cook and Hinkle.

"Barry documents the animals as they are received at the animal shelter," Pittman noted.

Two of the 31 dogs were kept for an autopsy. The remainder were properly buried on Town of Ahoskie property.

Chief Fitzhugh praised the work of his lead investigator, Detective Sgt. Jeremy Roberts, as well as the outstanding corporation between his agency and Bertie County Sheriff Greg Atkins and his investigators.

"...also interesting is another thread i've been following. supposedly einhorn was connected to a group called the council of nine. the nine was founded (i think) by andrija puharich. they were a group who centered around a couple of individuals who were supposedly able to channel ancient egyptian gods...."

One might describe the US Supreme Court as a "council of nine" in this context (black robes included for a nominal fee).

My brother worked in the Montana state mental institution in Warm Springs in 1970. What a summer job! He was there when they brought in Stanley Baker. Prior to his arrival, some of the moreignorant orderlies had riled the most paranoid of the residents, telling them if they didn't behave that Stanley the Cannibal would be there soon and they would arrange to have him be their room mate. Stanley did indeed arrive, hip and wrists with drag chains on his annkles accompanied by several Hiway Patrol cars, local and county police. My brother said there were at leas half a dozen vehicles. Stanley had to be evaluated before trial. Amazingly enough, kind of like in the Movie One Flew Over the Cuckoo's nest when Jack Nicholson as RP McMurphy gives out a hoot when he first walks in...so too did Stanley, only he broke free long enough to scream "I'm goin to eat you all!" The whole place erupted in a panic. My brother was scared to death himself after that. There were weird occurances back in that time. Once myself I was in Missoula c 1977 on the clark fork river right by the university on a little outlet patch of dirt referred to as Jacob's island when I ran across a dead squirrel with a stick through it's head in the center of a circular group of stones. As I bent to look more cloasely a huge branch flew over my head and splashed in the river. I ran like hell. Back up over the foot bridge I ran into a friend, albeit, one of my stangest friends at the time. He said I looked like I had seen a ghost. I told him what had happened and I asked him what he imagined the people who did this were doing. Practicing, he answered.

"Stargate" seems to have initially been a remote-viewing/mind control oriented CIA program label, now under a different program: STARGATE just recently declassified ESP, paranormal, remote viewing military uses of telekinesis type research that was done from an uncertain start date up until 1984. Bill Gates, former Director of the CIA, on ABC's Dateline in December of 1995 said that it ran up until 1984. They had one of the academic contractors to STARGATE on the show and they had the man whose job was CIA oversight of military experimentation under STARGATE. -Colin Ross @ mindnet, #80

I did find another reference to "Stargate" as a 'dimensional travel portal' of sorts, with Los Alamos mentioned:

An ex-NSA consultant who has been reliable in the past informs me that government scientists working at Los Alamos "Nuclear" Laboratory, NM have succeeded in generating a holographic portal. They have used this portal to travel across space-time, and possibly interdimensionally, and have seen into another world. What they saw there, my informant says cryptically, both frightened and intrigued them...

Certain extraterrestrial races have been using portals of their own devising to visit earth. Now the U.S. government, ever avaricious to copy ET technology, has created a primitive but working model of its own. Dr. Wen Ho Lee, nuclear scientist in the headlines, worked on that holographic portal project, along with other scientists...

"Hubbard was clearly involved in the occult. In 1945, L. Ron Hubbard met Jack Parsons, who was a renowned scientist, protégé of occultist Aleister Crowley, and a member of the notorious Ordo Templi Orientis (O.T.O.), an international organization founded by Crowley to practice sexual black magic.

Parsons had Hubbard move onto the property of Parsons' Pasadena, California, home. It was there that Hubbard began to practice the occult and sexual magic. Parsons' mistress, Sara Northrup, left him for Hubbard and later became Hubbard's second wife, even before Hubbard had divorced his first wife (The Los Angeles Times, June 24, 1990, p. A37).

Biographer Russell Miller wrote, "Parsons considered that Ron had great magical potential and took the risk of breaking his solemn oath of secrecy to acquaint Ron with some of the O.T.O. rituals.... Parsons wrote to his 'Most Beloved Father' (his term for Aleister Crowley) to acquaint him with events: 'About three months ago I met Captain L. Ron Hubbard.... Although he has no formal training in Magick, he has an extraordinary amount of experience and understanding in the field. From some of his experiences I deduced that he is in direct touch with some higher intelligence, possibly his Guardian Angel...

In Hubbard's 1952 Philadelphia Doctorate Course Lectures, he states:"The magical cults of the 8th, 9th, 10th, 11th and 12th centuries in the Middle East were fascinating. The only modern work that has anything to do with them is a trifle wild in spots, but is a fascinating work in itself, and that's the work of Aleister Crowley - the late Aleister Crowley - my very good friend.... He signs himself 'the Beast,' mark of the Beast 666..."

In 1982 I bought a hologram called "Stargate," which showed a guy walking through an interdimensional doorway. It was better done technically and artistically than most holograms of its day. Since the Stargate project was still supposedly Top Secret at that time, I wonder how this item got onto the commercial market?

As for channelling Egyptian gods... Again going back to 1982, I attended a UFO conference where some seriously weird folks were roaming the halls, including a publisher trailed by a harem of wannabe witches wearing too much makeup, and a blonde wearing a bikini and a "Miss UFO" banner (in the absence of any Miss UFO contest). One man appeared to be more lucid than the rest, and he was trying to do a mind-control number on me. He gazed at me intently and said that our timestream was merging with that of Ancient Egypt, and that this process would be accompanied by cattle mutilations and lots of triangles. He then drew a triangle on my arm with one finger and asked, "Haven't you been seeing more triangles lately?"

I replied that I had certainly noticed the one just drawn on my arm. I also said that I declined the invitation to follow him into that particular Reality, at least until he got the cattle mutilations out of it!

A year or two later, while in an Altered State outdoors, I noticed what appeared to be a green scarab beetle the size of my hand lying upside down on a rock in the sun. I thought: "Uh-oh! Such a thing does not exist in the world I know!" I carefully did *not* draw my companion's attention to it. I wanted to keep him as an anchor in my familiar world, not have him join me in the place of giant scarab beetles!

Until now, I had never connected those two incidents (and still don't see any obvious connection, except for the timeframe and the Egyptian theme).

FWIW, I have no particular burning interest in ancient Egypt. But from what I know about "the gods," they were *not* the kind of nice people that you'd invite to drop by for tea. If they ever return, it will not be to do personal favours for either conjurers or politicians.

Ok, so the "Process" is meant to be both a personal journey spiritually and an actual physical journey. In frank words these mentally-deranged self-centered individuals not only believe that some Mystical, Magical, Solar, GOD-LIKE FORCE is interacting with them. It, in the "Process" alters them into some kind of suprahuman able to turn around 360 degrees and right in front of people perform any action they so choose. Like run an enormous nation/worldwide charity group for animals while masking their occult activities.Wow, drop LSD, kill some dogs, see its wrong to kill dogs (after of course killing them gets boring) then save dogs! Every once in while get drunk and kill some reminiscing and having sex in the moonlight. ALL ON SOMEONE ELSE'S DIME EITHER WAY!

I wonder why they all see the world as crappy?I wonder why they all start out life as rich children?

They all sound like ducks still quacking to me. Or did I mean...

I cannot wait to find my own personal multi-million dollar a year solution to the universe.

Nice Blog!!! I thought I'd tell you about a site that will let give you places whereyou can make extra cash! I made over $800 last month. Not bad for not doing much. Just put in yourzip code and up will pop up a list of places that are available. I live in a small area and found quitea few. MAKE MONEY NOW

Not what I was searching for, but none the less and interesting blog here. Thanks for putting it up. I've enjoyed reading alot of the text here. I got you bookmarked for the future, I'll be back.

My site is a bit different, some think it's odd. I guess it's a matter how you look at it. I have a mens male enhancement reviews related site. Most of the articles are on mens male enhancement reviews.

In 1997, I was traveling thru a remote area of Arizona- near the North Rim of the Grand Canyon- and I met this woman:

"ZAPPING ACTIVISTSAttorney Karen Dobson is returning to Eugene this week to speak about how she was mistakenly targeted by rogue elements of government intelligence agencies and subjected to dangerous high-tech surveillance tactics Oregon and elsewhere.

Dobson says she will be talking about microwave weapons that have been developed in the last 50 years and how to protect ourselves from them. "These have been used to harass me and others who are trying to expose stealth surveillance tactics or drug smuggling of rogue intelligence agencies," she says.

The alleged surveillance began in 1993 after she won $123,000 in legal fees in a police fraud case in Washington state and moved to Newport. She says her privacy and health were compromised as she was tormented with "nonlethal" directed energy weapons targeting her residence.

She believes "rogue" government agents mistakenly thought she had moved to Newport to investigate them. As years passed, she received information from sympathetic agents as to the weapons being used against her and techniques to shield herself."

I was broke down at a gas station waiting for a part. She pulled in the second night and we got to talking. We ended up hanging out a lot that week, me stuck, she coming and going. She was definitely being both harassed physically by operatives and fried with energy weapons. It was freakin unbelievable! Goons everywhere, cars with no plates doing constant drive-by’s, strobing lights flashing into our vans, then at night the generator hum nearby and the blasting heat of microwaves. All kinds of crazy bizarre sh*t.

The funny thing was, she was headed for the Best Friends Animal Shelter at Kanab, Utah. She showed me the brochure, that’s how come I remember. I thought it was a truly weird destination considering her circumstances.

Also FYI: The Process Church of the Final Judgement is still around- current incarnation: The Society of Processeans

Aren't you guys just crazy? talking about canibalism and then about DOGS? I bumped into this blog when I was looking for some music, I know it sounds incredible... Anyway, life is not focused on eating your neighbor or your neighbor's dog, I felt I had to remind you... And I really don't want to teach anybody any lesson. have a wonderful canibal-free day!

Does anyone know if these topics are associated with the modern incidents of gangstalking? The phenom is gaining momentum worldwide and is beginning to take lives in the form of suicide and other strange circumstances. Check "Cause Stalking" Larson if you havn't already. Theres alot of info to google as well.

Also, I do remember an incident reported in the news several years ago about a bucket of blood that was found in Big Basin State Park, Santa Cruz County, back in the early 90s. Other rumors I've uncovered talk of a lot of missing people some of whom are rumored to have been 'sacrificed'. Other people were said to have been sealed in 55 gallon drums (some where in the area of Boulder Creek, Santa Cruz County) so that the bones could be more readily removed and used to create red phosphorus. A major ingrediant in the making of Meth. I also remember several people who attended the high school I went to claimed they were studying Satanism. They were quite up front about it despite their young age. Almost as if it was approved of by someone they knew as an authority.

It's nice to find a site you can trust.Visit Critterriddertexas.com this site was recommended by a friend so I tried it.They provide a Animal Control Texas, Rodent Control Austin, Bee Removal Austin and Wildlife Removal Austin at affordable price.Their service was great.

Whenever a feeling of aversion comes into the heart of a good soul,
it's not without significance.
Consider that intuitive wisdom to be a Divine attribute,
not a vain suspicion:
the light of the heart has apprehendedintuitively from the Universal Tablet. - Rumi
